I love the atmosphere and vintage vibes of the place as well!“

“I visited here twice on my trip to Arizona . Their mutton briyani (which is in Chennai style) and the non veg thali are one of the best ones I tried in US. If you’re from Tamil Nadu you will really like the authentic taste. If I am visiting AZ again this will be my first spot to stop by“

“Okay, Better Buzz Coffee… I get the obsession now! 😍

I ordered the Caramel Vanilla Best Drink Ever, and honestly, the name is 100% accurate. It was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect mix of caramel and vanilla. Every sip was amazing!

I also got the Everything Bagel with cream cheese, and WOW. It was so fresh and tasty. I found out they actually bake their bagels every morning, and you can definitely tell. Fresh, warm, and packed with flavor!

What made the experience even better was the incredible customer service from Ayden. He was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made me feel valued as a customer. It’s rare to come across service that leaves such a positive impression, and Ayden definitely went above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable.

Great drinks, delicious food, fresh-baked bagels, and outstanding customer service—I couldn’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be coming back for that “Best Drink Ever” again! ☕🥯✨“

“Awesome ambience! The host Amir was so polite and friendly made my wife and I feel very welcome. He deserves the best. The rooted grounds coffee company, however, gave us a cold danish and did not even call us when our coffee was ready. Very rude lady. She does not deserve the best unlike Amir of course.“

“Best Adult beverages! Super fun place!“

“While I was unable this morning to acquire a taste of food, I was very much impressed with Shayla‘s recommendation of a nice black cup of coffee to wake me up before I start my day. She was pleasant to speak to made a wonderful wonderful cup of black coffee And her friendly demeanor is what caused me to post this wonderful review about the service. It is people like her in this world that make individual experiences more pleasant and I am honored to have been invited to share a couple of coffee in the story with her so keep up the good work Shayla and thank you for probably the best cup of black coffee that I’ve ever had in my entire life God bless“

“Tried their Cereal Milk and it was so refreshing! Loved the touch of lavender to the drink, especially with it being my first time trying a lavender matcha.

The barista was super friendly and cultivated a wonderful environment with R&B music. Atmosphere was really pretty & had lots of fun decor! Great space to do work and hang out with friends.“

“Great customer service! 👏👏“
